For radios, I'm partial to Pioneer and JVC, but Sony, Alpine, and Kenwood should be fine too. I would avoid the bargain brands like Jensen, Boss, and Dual for durability and sound quality reasons. Hallux is right that you get what you pay for. While yours apparently has good reviews, understand that it is not a brand anyone into car audio is going to recognize, and fake reviews are a HUGE problem with online marketplaces like Amazon. Or if the listing I found is correct, not enough reviews to know either way.

One thing of note about these brands is that they only talk up the Android system and not the aspects that make a radio good. Any audio related specs they give are vague at best. If you ever do want to replace it, Crutchfield.com is a great resource, and you can feel free to hit me up to help make sense of specs.
Of your reasons to buy:
1. Plug and play install: A radio is a radio when it comes to installations. I'm sure you had to buy a wire harness adaptor at least to connect this one to your factory harness. This would be true of any radio. I will say it's becoming more involved with newer vehicles due to the extra OEM functions that now run through an infotainment system, but still mostly plug and play. The biggest issue these days is increased cost to retain OEM functions, followed by possibilities of cutting the dash or getting a non-standard sized radio to fit. Radios can also be moved vehicle to vehicle, or resold. If you hang on to the factory unit, you can reinstall it when getting rid of the vehicle, and keep your aftermarket one for others.
2. Price: It looks like yours was about $300. You can get decent name brand units about that price or less. You can obviously pay a lot more too, and it just depends on what features you want. One of my radios was about $600 new, but I ran it for over a decade and in many vehicles. I then sold it off for $150. So if you consider longevity and can afford it, that high upfront cost can be worth it.
3. Android capabilities: This is subjective I guess. Like Hallux said, I can't think of much an Android radio does that a regular radio can't, for purposes of car usage. I personally don't have a desire for that. The one thing yours can do that many regular radios can't is saving files internally. If you don't want to use Bluetooth controls or run an aux input, one workaround would be a small USB thumb drive with a radio that can accept them. My last radio could read mp3's from a thumb drive and I could play them just like yours (albeit via removable storage). If you can download the podcasts as an mp3 or similar, this could work for you. For icing on the cake, my last radio was a Pioneer and had an option to make the radio lighting reactive to the music being played from the thumb drive, and another option to make itself almost like a virtual DJ when transitioning between tracks.
Just some things to think about if and when the time comes to buy another one.
